Some of the mathematical representation on [[Knuth's up-arrow notation]] is broken. There is too much whitespace. See:

I don't know what causes this, but it doesn't look nice.
Have you tried removing some of the quad-spaces? The terms are arranged like this (pardon my ASCII art):

where the _ here represents literal spaces in. Presumably this is meant to align things just so, but it creates, well, a bunch of whitespace.
